this did not work for me, at least applied naively. May be, it is due to the 
way I setup repository - first I created local version from 2.6.15 tree and 
then pulled in remote one.

Anyway repacking and pruning resulted in over 500MB size reduction so its OK 
for me so far. I'll probably try fetching cleanly later.

thank you and best regards
